India's Rohan More became the first Asian swimmer and the
youngest ever to swim across the Cook Strait between North and South Islands of
New Zealand. The teenager from Pune completed the feat in eight hours and 37
minutes. Starting from the North Island in temperatures of around 19 degrees
Celsius, More battled inclement weather and a sudden drop in temperature to
complete the task. With this feat, More became the ninth person in the world to
complete the Ocean's Seven marathon.
The Ocean's Seven consists of seven long-distance
open-water swims, which includes the North Channel, the Cook Strait, the
Molokai Channel, the English Channel, the Catalina Channel, the Tsugaru Strait
and the Strait of Gibraltar.
